Researchers from the International Centre for Lifecourse Studies in Society and Health in Great Britain have released a guide to “social medicines” that are beneficial to the health and well-being of individuals and the population as a whole. Combining social and biological information from life-course studies, the researchers have found that more social medicines result in better physical and mental health. These include a stable family life, stress free childhood, positive relationships with friends and neighbors, and a socially active old age.
